Categorising salmon migration behaviour using characteristics of split-beam acoustic data

Abstract: -Milling behaviour is problematic when using hydroacoustics to estimate the number of migrating fish in rivers. Milling behaviour was observed for adult sockeye salmon migrating upstream in the Wannock River, to their spawning grounds in the tributaries of Owikeno Lake in the central coast area of British Columbia, Canada. We classified the acoustic salmon tracks to separate the milling fish from the actively migrating fish in an attempt to obtain an estimate of sockeye salmon flux as they migrate to their spa… Show more

“…These Exploratory To compare the gross to net path lengths, we calculated the straightness index (SI) [1], which corresponds to the ratio between the net and the gross distances patrolled by a fish school and computed as the ratio between D and L (SI = D/L). This index ranging between 0 and 1 is a reliable measure of the sinuosity of the path, i.e., a SI close to 1 illustrates directed movements linked to the efficiency of an orientation mechanism to reach a goal [1,30]. Moreover, the Exploratory Swimming Speed (ESS in m s −1 ) of each school was estimated in [9] by dividing the beeline distance D between the starting point to the last point of the school in the beam with the time interval between these two extreme records of the school in the sonar beams.…”

“…But it appeared soon that this device could also describe the path inside the beam and track the fish movements. Nowadays, this kind of echosounder is currently used to count upstream migrations of salmon (Mulligan and Kieser 1996;Ransom et al 1998;Pfisterer 2002;Xie et al 2002;Cronkite et al 2007), particularly where migrations are spread, and passage rates are low (less than 2000 fish/hour) (Enzenhofer et al 1998).…”

“…Η προσέγγιση που ακολουθήθηκε διαχωρίζει τη διαδικασία σε δύο επιμέρους βήματα, απαιτώντας (α): τη σύνδεση των επιμέρους παρατηρήσεων σε συνεχόμενα στο χρόνο ίχνη, και κατόπιν (β): τη χρήση προσομοίωσης για τον καθορισμό του «βέλτιστου» εξομαλυντή εκτίμησης της πραγματικής θέσης του εκάστοτε σμήνους, και κατ' επέκταση της αμερόληπτης ταχύτητάς του. Εξαιρώντας την πρόσθετη πληροφορία της πολυκωνικής προσομοίωσης, η οποία για πρώτη φορά εφαρμόστηκε στα πλαίσια της διατριβής, διάφορες αντίστοιχες προσεγγίσεις μπορούν να βρεθούν στην ακουστική βιβλιογραφία, όπου τα ίχνη αξιολογούνται με μεθόδους εξομάλυνσης ή παλινδρόμησης κατόπιν της σύνδεσης των παρατηρήσεων (Hafsteinsson & Misund, 1995;Cronkite & Enzenhofer, 2002;Cronkite et al, 2007;Handegard & Williams, 2008). Οι Handegard et al (2005) και Schell & Linder (2006) παρουσιάζουν συγκριτικές εφαρμογές των μεθόδων στην ιχνηλάτηση μεμονωμένων υδρόβιων οργανισμών σε μικρές αποστάσεις.…”
